History
Ett Hem — Swedish for 'a home' — opened in 2012 after a six-year renovation by owner Jeanette Mix, who transformed a 1910 Arts & Crafts townhouse in Stockholm's exclusive Lärkstan embassy quarter into what has become a global benchmark for intimate, design-led hospitality. British designer Ilse Crawford of Studioilse conceived every detail of the interior, blending vintage and modern furniture, Swedish antiques, handmade textiles, and original artworks into rooms that feel genuinely inhabited rather than styled. The hotel originally offered 12 rooms; a second neighbouring townhouse was acquired in 2022, expanding the property to 22 rooms while retaining the intimate, residential atmosphere that defines it. Crawford's philosophy that 'design is a tool to enhance humanity' is manifest in every corner of this singular retreat.
The setting
Ett Hem occupies a patrician Arts and Crafts townhouse at Sköldungagatan 2 in Lärkstan (Lark City), a residential quarter planned by Per Olof Hallman between 1907 and 1917 whose streets — Tyrgatan, Friggagatan, Baldersgatan — are named after Norse gods. The neighbourhood's portico-fronted townhouses, iron gates, and embassy residences have earned comparison to Belgravia, and foreign missions from Estonia to Iraq still line the surrounding streets. Set between Östermalm and Vasastan, the area balances patrician calm with proximity to Stureplan's dining and boutiques. Owner Jeanette Mix transformed the house into twelve rooms that mirror the quarter's ethos: discreet, deeply residential, and resolutely elegant. 3 km from Kungliga Slottet (palace). 4 km from Vasamuseet (maritime museum).
